Wilder interview

[Carlton Blade]

It's conveniently a COH/"AI" signing whenever there's criticism of the manager's recruitment.

The same people say all the below (a touch of hyperbole here, but I'm making a point)

"Wilder got 92 (90 if you look at the table) points"
"The players folded under the pressure v Oxford, Millwall, Plymouth. Moore cost United the play off final"
"Wilder set this team up and look how successful it was"
"These players just aren't good enough"
"Wilder is a fantastic leader"
"These players are petulant, mardy and don't try"
"COH signed Cannon. PA wanted Brewster, Wilder wanted Watkins"
"Wilder made United all that PL money"
"They were only L1 players, Wilder's 'system' was the whole team"

The manager can't only be responsible for the positive, then blame the players for negatives

Wilder is a good manager. Some of his recruitment stuff pre 2019 has been the best value for money imaginable

Also

His teams are extremely cautious and formulaic in attack. He gets fixated on individuals rather than what characteristics his teams need to add with big signings

So the question is, wtf did Cannon (Shadow) do to merit his move here in the first place
